Lizzie, PLEASE stop talking about subjects you know nothing about. The FCC most certainly DOES require functioning product- because they do EM interference testing on the stuff before it is "FCC approved".. Maybe you noticed in those pictures where the tech was putting a little EM meter next to it on a test bench in their farady cage room? ------ Apparently though, to be fair, the FCC requires "mock ups" only, so no vendor sends their actual product.

this specific photo from the Zune FCC filing is making the rounds. Its just too bad to believe. macdailynews.com MacDailyNews Take: And, so, it's confirmed. The Zune, or as it's already known in France, "Z'Brick," is made by Toshiba and is the size of a small convenience store. Oh, and that "white scroll wheel" mentioned by Bloomberg is not a scroll wheel at all, it's only a four-way button that just happens to be round. You know, to look like Apple's product in an effort to fool the ignorant. As usual. Apple's patent pending iPod Click Wheel is patent-pending for a reason, you know. The fact that the brick-like Zune comes in brown is considered by many analysts to be highly appropriate. And, if Rob Enderle thinks it's all good, then you know it's very, very bad. How bad? Even we expected more from Microsoft.
